Biker Boyz Reviews

Oh boy… How did I end up watching this flick? That’s actually a rather long story… Every year, I go to a 2nd hand shop with 2 plastic bags full of DVDs to sell them and I go back home with the same bags full of brand new 2nd hand DVDs to watch the following year. Anyway, after 3 hours long looking for some rarities, I was finally done and I was paying the bill and ready to go home. However, at the cash register, since I bought so many DVD’s, I was allowed to take 3 more for free. On one hand, it was pretty neat but, on the other hand, I really didn’t feel like checking all those DVDs again so I quickly pick three and this movie was one of them. Even though I got it for free, it went right away to the very bottom of my DVD queue and since it contains 80 movies right now, it meant that I wouldn’t probably ever watch it. But, somehow, Nick, my step-son, seemed interested so we ended watching it yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really good, I’m afraid. Let me correct this, it was actually pretty bad. Of course, it was pretty obvious that, after the success of ‘The Fast and The Furious’, they would try to make something similar with bikes eventually but, first of all, let me address the elephant in the room. Why a bikers movie with black folks ? I mean, I always thought that bikers were always closer to the white supremacist than the black panthers but who knows ? Maybe I’m just being ignorant and it is actually a very common hobby in black neighborhoods. Anyway, it was a really tedious flick. The driving scenes were not exciting whatsoever, the characters were terrible and the plot was just terribly pedestrian. Furthermore, it was very long, way too long for its own good. The funny thing is that there was actually a decent cast (Laurence Fishburne, Derek Luke, Orlando Jones, Djimon Hounsou, Lisa Bonet, Larenz Tate, Kid Rock, Meagan Good, Terrence Howard, Eriq La Salle) but they clearly wasted their time here. To conclude, it was pretty bad and I don’t think it is really worth a look, even if you like the genre.
